I take the clearomiser apart but leave the coil together. A few days seems to do it but sometimes a week if I haven't cleaned them for a while. I let them air dry for several days. I then check to make sure the coil is screwed into the base and check the resistance, then just fill them and let them sit for a few days (upright). I don't dry burn them. The Vodka seems to mix with the e-liquid easily; the first hit is a little weak but it clears up right away. I haven't decided whether the type of Vodka matters. I tend to use whatever I'm drinking at the time, unless it's one of thhose real fancy (read expensive) brands. It only takes about 4 ounces (just enough to cover the pieces); not a lot of money even if you use Stoli. Maybe some day I'll tey Grey Goose. One other thing; the whole clearomizer comes out clean as a whistle, looking like new. Pit them in a bowl, add Vodka, swish around, let it soak, swish a few more times, let them dry........but don't drink the Vodka afterwards. It tastes really bad....don't ask how I know. Working...

Rinse with hot water, soak in vodka for about 24 hours, let air dry for a day or two. It's an excellent disinfectant cleaner and nontoxic. I prefer using "middle shelf" brands like Burnett's. Not too expensive for cleaning and still good for drinking =D Illegitimi Non Carborundum est Working...
